Ginger ice cream... lactose free!



a while back, completely by accident i found candied ginger chips in the baking section of a farmer's market of sorts. i definitely wanted it asap and knew it would make some yummy treat down the line. so when i wanted ice cream but had a craving something different... ginger ice cream sounded mouth watering. BUT as I reached for the heavy cream in the grocery store.. again i thought about healthy options and put my hand back down and sadly decided not to make it after all. when i got home, the ginger chips nagged me loudly from the pantry but it was too late to go back to the grocery. we did have soy milk though, so it was possible..maybe? after some research i found several recipe options using soy milk... and another one using coconut milk... so combining the two, i immediately made a soy milk/coconut milk fresh ginger root infused custard and made it the next day. hint... a couple of tbsp of lime juice right before freezing enhances the flavor. i added the ginger chips during the last 5 min of freezing and..DELICIOUS! now i must have another scoop of healthy..well, healthier...ice cream.
